Hello, I am trying to make simulation of flow around a circular cylinder near a plane wall.
This is my blockMeshDict.

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      blockMeshDict;
}

I know my blockMeshDict looks really messy, but I double checked, and it doesn't seem to be wrong.
However, my terminal gives this

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
"ill defined primitiveEntry starting at keyword 'blocks' on line 54 and ending at line 172"

file: /home/ihu945/OpenFOAM/ihu/run/undercylinder/icore100under/system/blockMeshDict at line 172.

From function primitiveEntry::readEntry(const dictionary&, Istream&)
in file lnInclude/IOerror.C at line 132.

Please, help me to figure out this.
Thanks.

Hi,

There necessarily needs to be a space after simpleGrading and the grading specification.
